Government Pushes Employers Toward Health Maintenance Plans
The U S government directs employers with 25 or more workers to offer a health maintenance organization option, expanding access to HMOs for about 52 million workers and their families. Labor unions may veto the option, and costs vary by region with reports of lower expenses and preventive care benefits under HMOs. Major firms like General Motors and Illinois Bell note cost and utilization differences with HMO plans versus traditional insurance.

Missouri Task Force Approves Malpractice Plan
Missouri insurers would form a joint underwriting association to cover doctors unable to obtain malpractice insurance. The plan, approved by a Medical Malpractice Task Force, would let the division director order casualty firms to back the association and share claims costs. Also, a medical screening panel and changes to minors' malpractice statute of limitations are planned, with a stronger informed consent definition to show patient risk disclosure.
